Gelli Printing on Fabric -

This is the February event for the Creative Arts Collaboration Facebook group. #loveart.
In this video, I do an art play on fabric. I start with painting the fabric with my @Gelliart plate. So much fun and so much color!
I turn it into a small clutch or wristlet pouch. Enjoy the process and thanks for watching!

What a cute bag ! Gel printing the fabric made it nice and bright and cheerful 😊

[@lisastephens9703]

Fabric? So cute💜

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Lisa, Unfortunately this fabric has been discontinued by the company. In place of it I have been using the blackout lining by Roc-lon. It is similar but not as heavy. Thanks for watching, Julia

[@marianrooth9514]

[@lindadechow3703]

Thank you so much, this was fun to watch. I am waiting for my large plate to arrive, as I was printing on my 8x10 and although that worked, it will be so much better with the big one for wall hangings. You are absolutely my inspiration, Julia. Thanks again.

[@sandykelley8463]

Wow you are a whiz with that free motion sewing. It looks easy but I'm sure it's very difficult. Thx for sharing your talents!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Sandy, Free motion stitching is really quite simple. Once you get the movement down, the possibilities are endless. Thanks for watching. Happy creating!

[@claudiaforrest6669]

This is so adorable! Great video Julia!

[@linneakokinos4550]

Loe it!

[@vegasvancitygirl9251]

Just found u. Ur so good that at first I thought u were painting on paper!! I didn’t understand what was going on. Can u tell me how did u print words on the fabric? It’s so clear . Also, what is the best paint on fabric & what permanent fabric pens 🖊 do u suggest along with fabric paint pens? I have been looking & looking for awhile but everyone has a different opinion. Not that I ever asked any Of them BC honestly I’m very impressed with ur work. Thanks.

[@pamtietz321]

Jordan really likes this video found interesting

[@stitchesbyjulia]

So glad she enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@basbo00sa]

It’s beautiful. Is this the fabric you used? Roc-lon Ivory Blackout Drapery Lining Fabric

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Unfortunately, Ro-lon has discontinued the MPC or multi-purpose cloth that I used in this video. I also use the white Roc-lon Blackout Lining but it is lighter weight than the MPC. Thanks for watching, Julia

[@vegasvancitygirl9251]

Just heard u talk about Ur words. I’ll check It out . Is there anyway to do it without a computer?

[@GewoonelsJustels]

Really cool! I wonder at what point or how you add the textile medium

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, When I use acrylic paints, I add the textile medium to the paint before painting. ( I add several drops to my palette and mix it into the paint) If I am using colors that are water activate, I use the fabric medium in place of the water. Hope this helps, Julia

[@joharvey8159]

Thank you so much for sharing, you are so talented! I just have a quick question please, do you have your stitch length to zero?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Jo, Yes the stitch length is at 0. Thanks for watching! Julia

[@That_Girl_7_11]

OOOh, Im sorry, where does she do the printing on fabric come in to this????

[@phenomenal_woman]

Hello Julia, love your videos. I wanted to know where is your video on how to inkjet print on the mpc cloth?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Evelyn, here is the link to the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3SXYXWAbqqerrs I start around 1:08. In the video I show with muslin but I use the same steps with the MPC however the MPC is thicker so I do not put the label on the back. You make need to change the setting of your printer to the card stock setting. Thanks for watching! Julia

[@jenelleroot3998]

Love your videos. I was wondering what paint it was that you were using, how does it wash?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I used acrylic paints for this project. I do mix my paints with a fabric medium. I use GAC 900 from Golden. Once heat set, it is washable.

[@gingerbiscuit4871]

Have you tried heat embossing on fabric, I’d be interested in the outcome? I have embossed leather but not tried using powders.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Yes I have embossed on fabric. You really have to be careful not to hold the heat tool in place too long because the fabric will scorch easily. It is a fun look. I do not know if it would be washable. Happy creating. Julia

[@baxter3877]

Just beautiful! May I ask for a link to purchase the fabric.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I'm so glad you liked the video! Here are some links to the fabric. It's a bit spendy, but wide. I usually wait for a coupon from joann's or wait for a sale on Dick Blick. The Amazon link is for smaller pieces if you want to test it before investing in a 10yard roll:) tinyurl.com/yaxsbj74 - Dick Blick Art tinyurl.com/y9f4ay9v -joann.com tinyurl.com/ybn3ames -Amazon

[@annegirard9488]

Love and would like to try. I missed the type of fabric used and where I can purchase. Thank you

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Anne, The fabric is called MPC or multi-purpose cloth. It is made by Roclon. It's original use was drapery blackout lining but it takes paint well and does not fray making it so fun to work with! It can be found through the Dick Blick website and also on Amazon. I do have it in my Etsy store as well but am traveling for the holiday and have it unlisted until January. Thanks so much for watching. Happy Creating, Julia

[@3607Mario]

Do I need to have a special machine to free motion stitch if I can find the round presser foot?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, most home machines work great for FM. You do have to disengage the feed dogs. This is done lowering with a lever or covering with a plastic plate. Check your manual for this info. You will need a FM quilting foot or a darner foot. These can be purchased if one didn’t come with your machine. I set my stitch length to 0. Have fun!

[@ramonalee1]

Love this. Do you mind if I copy it?

[@dorsethillbeads]

How do you seal the paint to the fabric? Is this washable?..

[@stitchesbyjulia]

The fabric used in this project is spot wash only. When I paint on a washable fabric I use a fabric medium. In this video, I tested different paints and dyes and sealed with Golden GAC fabric medium. I then washed the fabric and showed the end results. Hope this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3mQi613btKXb6s

[@jackierockers3552]

Can the Gelli plate be purchased at Micheal's? Or this just an online product?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Jackie, I have never seen it at Micheal's or Joann's. I purchased mine through Amazon.

[@eveking6356]

What type of fabric did you use for this project?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Eve, I am using Multi-Purpose cloth or MPC by Roc-lon. However, I have not been able to get it for the last several months. I fear that it has been discontinued. Julia

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

Question: Do you happen to have a pattern for these little birds that you can provide as a download? I'd gladly pay for it.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Phyllis, I am going to get some of my design up on Etsy as a download. I wish I was more technically minded!

[@lapaylor4039]

confused, your fabric looks stiff like paper

[@stitchesbyjulia]

The MPC is a cross between canvas and vinyl. It was so fun to work with- unfortunately Roc-lon has discontinued it.
